As the requirement of staff course qualified officers increased with time, Pakistan Navy Staff College was established in 1971, in a small building in PNS KARSAZ, Shahrae Faisal Karachi . By 1995 the requirement of staff course qualified officers gradually increased many folds and it became inevitable to shift to a proper building. At this time, it was decided to shift the College to Lahore as the main induction in the navy takes place from Punjab. Since the College curriculum does not require its proximity to sea, it was decided to relocate the College to Lahore, a seat of learning for centuries. A building on the Mall Road was acquired, altered to meet the purpose and inaugurated in August 1996 as PN War College. 25th PN Staff Course commenced at Lahore in Aug 96. Since then, the College has been conducting Staff Courses every year on regular basis.
